    I've been Money Tipped!
    Interior programme on BBC2, it started 15 minutes ago.

    Just caught a bit. Two of the designers. Doesn't seem as good tonight based on those two.

    The mysteries of my house.

    Behind the hall radiator lurks a brick wall, not plastered but instead boarded. A snatch of newspaper behind the boarding - 1969!

    Behind the study radiator was some thick type of foil stuck to the wall, firmly stuck, very firmly stuck. Doubly annoying as we though we would get away without decorating the study.

    So now I need to find a decorator that can prepare a surface and to paint.

    I mis understood the scale of your work. I thought you were just doing something to do with boiler or ch, not a downstairs renovation!

    Still, looking on the bright side it will all be smart and fresh when you are done!

    I love hats and I particularly love trying on different women's hats at weddings and getting my photo taken wearing them.

    (it's not a fetish or anything, just good fun)

    Do you ask them first?

    I'd be a bit squeamish about some people wearing my hats.


    Mind you, the hats in my my 'working' collecting are pretty manky ...one sweats like a horse often, wearing them and a wool coat (or sometimes an apron over breeches And a coat) on a hot summers day while pouncing about. Or running up and down , or while chasing after balls or whatever. Any one who wanted to wear one of those would be pretty brave!
  • My favourite hat at the moment is a cream wool one my mother knitted last Christmas, which goes perfectly with my gorgeous cream coat. It's warm and looks great, a winner!
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    My every day hat is a faux fur trapper (because I need to keep ears covered). I have another faux fur hat I wear a fair bit too, it the trapper is by 'round and a bout the dogs/garden/outside in inclement weather hat.

    I've never owned a hat. Is that weird?

    Yes. They keep your head warm in winter, and the sun off it in summer.
